He was the great grandson of one U.S. president. The grandson of another. The son of a diplomat and U.S. congressman. A Harvard graduate and a member of the New England intellectual elite. And as he began his career as a political writer, Henry Adams set his sights on Ulysses S. Grant , a man he considered unfit for the presidency. Born in Boston on February 16, 1838, Henry Adams grew up in an atmosphere of wealth and culture. His great-grandfather, John Adams, had been the United States' second president. His grandfather, John Quincy Adams, had been the sixth. Adams' father, Charles Francis Adams, was a historian. Charles would also serve his country as a congressman and a diplomat. Adams' mother, Abigail Brown Brooks, was a Boston Brahmin, a daughter of one of the city's wealthy, exclusive families. As a boy, Henry Adams studied at an exclusive private school, but he also learned a great deal from his father. The family home included a library of some 18,000 books the largest in Boston at the time. Later, at Harvard University, Henry studied broadly. His subjects included Greek and Roman literature, mathematics, government, botany, astronomy, physics, and French. In 1858 Henry graduated from Harvard, just as his father, grandfather, and great-grandfather had done before him. After graduation, Adams traveled to Germany, where he began to study law at the University of Berlin. But when

Henry Adams Catharine Beecher John Dewey Elaine Goodale Eastman ... Laura Towne Henry Adams (1838-1918) Born into the prominent Adams family of presidents and historians, Henry Adams was himself a historian and philosopher. In his autobiography, The Education of Henry Adams , he writes about himself with a kind of distant irony in the third person, suggesting that he is only a small part of larger forces at work in the world. It is in the chapter entitled "Failure," about his own early attempts to teach, that he wrote, "A teacher affects eternity; he can never tell where his influences stops."

Home Encyclopeadia A Abe - Ach ... Rope Ladders Slider Search: The Web Encyclopaedia Shopping Index Help Encyclopaedia Adams, Henry 1838-1918, American writer and historian, b. Boston; son of Charles Francis Adams (1807-86). He was secretary (1861-68) to his father, then U.S. minister to Great Britain. Upon his return to the United States, having already abandoned the law and seeing no opportunity in the traditional Adams vocation of politics, he briefly pursued journalism. He reluctantly accepted (1870) an offer to teach medieval history at Harvard, but nonetheless stayed on seven years and also edited (1870-76) the North American Review. In 1877 Adams moved to Washington, D.C., his home thereafter. He wrote a good biography of Albert Gallatin (1879), a less satisfactory one of John Randolph Democracy (1880), a cutting satire on politics, and Esther (1884). His exhaustive study of the administrations of Jefferson and Madison, History of the United States of America (9 vol., 1889-91; reprinted in a number of editions), is one of the major achievements of American historical writing. Famous for its style, it is deficient, perhaps, in understanding the basic economic forces at work, but the first six chapters constitute one of the best social surveys of any period in U.S. history. Never of a sanguine temperament, Adams became even more pessimistic after the suicide (1885) of his adored wife. He abandoned American history and began a series of restless journeys, physical and mental, in an effort to achieve a basic philosophy of history. Drawing upon the physical sciences for guidance and influenced by his brother, Brooks

The Education of Henry Adams : An Autobiography Intercollegiate Studies Institute Fifty BEST Books of the Century (1) Author Info: Henry Brooks Adams You can hardly open a periodical without coming across the statement that what our civilization needs is more "drive," or dynamism, or self-sacrifice, or "creativity." In sort of ghastly simplicity we remove the organ and demand the function. We make men without chests and expect of them virtue and enterprise. We laugh at honor and are shocked to find traitors in our midst. We castrate and bid the geldings be fruitful. -C.S. Lewis The Abolition of Man It may not be possible to like Henry Adams, but it is certainly possible to empathize with him. A grandson and great grandson of Presidents, the bar was set impossibly high for him at birth. The closest thing we have to him today is probably Ted Kennedy, and look at what an utter hash he's made out of his life. The problems of Henry Adams were, presumably, of a different order, mostly having to do with the feeling that he could not understand the modern Industrial world, but his general feeling of having failed to achieve as much as his ancestors likely contributed, as did the unexpected suicide of his wife. Meanwhile, he need not have felt this inadequacy so sorely. He was an accomplished writer : his
